Im not sure how it goes , Powdercoating is coloring bike? anyway, how much does it cost on average to spray a motorbike mine is a Honda CBR250RR 1990,
at the moment its red and i was just wandering how much would it cost to paint the whole body white? and also All white with maybe some black stripes coming from the bottom to the top, 3 stripes on each side?

BTW i live in Australia Melbourne so if anyone knows maybe the prices are different in other countries.

 

Powdercoating only applies to metal parts (frame / rims / rearsets). Painting the plastics, the price will vary from cheap (do-it-yourself with spraycans) to "You paid how much?!?" (custom artwork with the highest quality paints).

 

Roughly how much would a full spray be, all White , and then All white with some black stripes? 3 on ea side

 

Call your local shops and ask them. That's a really tough question for a lot of reasons.
1. Shops charge different rates. Some can be $45/hr... some charge $145.
2. Same with paint. Some is $80gal, some is $800gal (and up) depending on what you get.
3. Details like graphics or painted stripes can have wildly different costs depending on design, labor, materials, and detail.
4. Damage and prep work. Prep is expensive. Bikes have to be handworked and if there are scratches etc... even more work. Labor adds up.
5. You're in AUS. Prices and currency are very different over there. Heck, our tire cost is even drastically different here for some reason, so I can't imagine what paint and labor costs.

I know, it doesn't help. Just go to a shop and ask.

 

If you have the focus, work ethics and dedication you can do it yourself extremely cheaply. I believe one of the RotM contenders did a white repaint using spray rattle cans that came out extremely well and I doubt cost more than $50-$75 USD. But the reason it came out so well is because of the amount of prep and attention to detail he put in to it.

If you do go the shop route, you can save money by removing the fairings yourself. You'll save even more by doing the prep yourself (sanding / repair / paint stripping). Those will be labor costs, not material costs. The labor is usually the majority of the costs. Doing the grunt work yourself will cut a lot of dollars out of the final price. Just remember if you do the prep work yourself, do it right. The final results of repainting is extremely dependant on the prep done.

 

ohhh okay thanks guys, i might research how to repair and might even consider repainting my bike white my self, i have time to put into it if somebody knows a guide on how to do all the Prep work and how to spray properly id appreciate it if they post link or just explain, THANKS! (also if you can name some paint cans)

 

Have a look on Youtube ... there's quite a lot of videos about painting panels and repairing plastics.
